This category covers the fasteners that hold a Holden V8 together: cylinder head bolts and head studs, main cap bolts, conrod bolts, rocker and manifold fasteners. For a street rebuild, factory-style head bolts do the job. For higher clamping load, repeatable torque, or anything boosted or stroked (355/383), ARP head studs are the common upgrade. Fastener fitment depends on your engine variant and head type, so check before you buy — the wrong head stud length or thread is an easy and expensive mistake.
FAQ
What's the Holden V8 head bolt tightening sequence?
Centre bolts first, then work outward alternating side to side in staged passes, exhaust side leading. Follow the staged sequence in full rather than final-torquing any bolt in one go, and use the diagram for your specific engine and head.
Should I use head bolts or head studs?
Head bolts are simpler and fine for most street rebuilds. Head studs (commonly ARP) give a more even, repeatable clamp load and are the usual choice for higher-power, boosted or stroker builds. Studs also offer the benefit of pulling on the stud while torquing, not the engine block thread. We stock both for the Holden V8 where available — ask us what suits your power target.
Do you stock ARP fasteners for the Holden V8?
Yes, in stock, if the button is green and "Add to Cart" you are good to go/in stock. — head studs and other ARP fasteners to suit 253, 304, 308 and 5.0L Holden V8 engines, alongside factory-style options. If something's on indent we'll tell you up front.
